Openjdk != Sun java...

For instance, SAP's gui for java doesn't work with openjdk and requires sun's Java implementation.

I can imagine that many other software packages aren't compatible with openjdk either.

While I agree WORA is not really true in this case I blame OpenJDK. I have a number of applications that work fine in Sun's JDK, IBM's JDK, and JRockit but not OpenJDK. Especially stuff that stresses permgen space (like J2EE portal conatiners and eclipse with a large number of plugins) seems to have problems with OpenJDK.

You may want to retry SAP's GUI on the Fedora 10 version of java-1.6.0-openjdk-plugin. Red Hat did a lot of work to make IcedTea's plugin much more compatible in this release.

See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/LiveConnect for details.
